Cancel an order

You can cancel an order as long as the goods have not been shipped. When you cancel, you record a reason for your team and choose whether the items go back into stock.

A cancelled order stays in your Orders list. EcomWeb has no way to delete an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is the customer notified when I cancel an order?

EcomWeb does not send the customer an email when an order is cancelled. Only staff can see the cancellation reason. Contact the customer yourself to let them know.

Can a customer cancel an order themselves?

Yes. A signed-in customer can cancel an order from their account page while it has not shipped. The order's Timeline shows that the customer did it.

What if the order has already been delivered?

You can't cancel an order that has shipped or been delivered. If the customer wants to send the goods back, see Handle a return request.
